-- Highly Confidential -- Background on the ASVN § Saturn has proposed, in addition to a cash offer, an Asset Sale Value Note (“ASVN”) for any proceeds from sales of the VMD assets (legacy Village, CityMD, and Summit) – Sale proceeds, starting at the first dollar, to be split 70% to Blazing Star shareholders and 30% to Saturn – Total proceeds available to Blazing Star shareholders to share in is currently capped at $3.3bn (which is the current value of Blazing Star’s debt note) § Management has provided a 3-Year Plan (FY’25-’27) which shows the operational turnaround from $24mm EBITDA in FY’24 to $205mm in FY’27 § Management has also provided an upside case that results in EBITDA expanding to $365mm in FY’27 § To assess preliminary valuation of the ASVN, we consider: – 2027 monetization at multiples informed by precedent transactions and current public peer trading multiples, discounted back to today – Discounted Cash Flow at the time of sale – These implied values are discounted for the proposed 70% ownership split, as well as a haircut for risk, structure and illiquidity 1
